Wellbeing
Wellbeing at Nar Nar Goon Primary School:
We are a Berry Street school.
The Berry Street Education Model (BSEM) equips both mainstream and specialist schools with practical, classroom-based strategies to increase the engagement of all students, including those with complex, unmet learning needs.
The education model enables schools to support students’ self-regulation, relationships and wellbeing to increase student engagement and significantly improve academic achievement.
Please see Berry Street Education Model – Learning and Resources | Berry Street
IN order to build social and personal capabilities, we use the program Play Is The Way, which is the lynchpin of our wellbeing approach. This is a unique program of physically interactive games that both require and develop personal and social competencies.
